Ashley doesn't 'suck'. That's a nasty accusation that isn't really legitimate. Ashley , as with all figure skaters, worked hard to where she wants to be. Figure skaters don't set up excuses. Figure skating is a very, intense, and a competitive sport. Wining the figure skating championships will give them huge bragging rights, endorsements, future opportunities and the much needed title of ice queen or ice legend. And maybe a space in the 'Sports Hall of Fame". Michelle Kwan is one example. Sasha Cohen is another. Ashley's a budding superstar who has a future, and so does Mirai Nagasu. And then there are those, who were disgraced like Tonya Harding who faded away from figure skating dominance as if it was just a bad dream. We have newcomers and we have the legends. Life does go on after figure skating....Dorothy Hamill tried up her passsionate streak as a potential 'Chopped Champion, as it was with Johnny Weir. Sasha was a guest food critic on Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen as she was a guess judge for Project Runway with host Heidi Klum. These are examples of what former figure skating stars would do when they no longer compete.
